Detailed Description
Golden West Condition Report - Low Neck fills, original labels and capsules. In great shape for their age.

"Deep ruby, with a ripe, meaty cassis and berry nose, full-bodied, with tons of velvety fruit flavors, full tannins and a very long finish." -- James Suckling - 97

"Many notes, different UK bottlings, all consistently good; deep, rich, magnificent. Recent notes: perfect balance and harmony on nose and palate. Sweet, full, rich, fleshy, very fragrant. Superb. Last tasted Jan 2005 ***** Perfect now but will keep." -- Michael Broadbent 5 Star

"Still opaque, rich and magnificent in the mid-1970s including a fine Justerini's bottling, and a deeply coloured yet delicate and flowery Harvey's bottling in 1980, a rich ripe Berry Bros' in 1985 and other equally lovely bottles either side. Then a a glorious bottle in 1990, its fragrance lingering in the glass for five hours. The next two, both coincidentally at Saintsbury Club dinners, in 1994 and 1998. Both wines appeared quite deep for their age; both had a flawless bouquet, crisp, rich, classic. Both were sweet with lovely fleshy texture, fruit, flavour and finish. Might surpass even the '63. Last noted Oct 1998 ***** Now-2030." -- Michael Broadbent 5 Star

"There are a number of really stupendous vintage ports combining structure and that quintessential dark, bitter chocolate intensity of flavour. Dow and Fonseca are two of my all-time favorites." Richard Mayson, December 2001 Decanter Magazine
